Ghosn Branch Howie, M. A., the blind evangelist from Lebanon, delivered a most interesting and instructive lecture on "Bethlehem," in the Presbyterian Church, last Tuesday evening. Mr. Howie appeared in his Oriental costume, which is believed to be afac simile of the dress worn there in the time of Abraham. As the speaker had not always been blind, he was able to de- lcxibe some of the many places of interest familiar to Bible students, in and between Jerusalem and Bethlehem. and also the pe- ou‘iiar manners and customs of the people. Hi! descriptions were graphic. The lecture wm: enlivened with flashes of humor. but the general tone was spiritual. It is almost needless to add that the lecture was listened to mth rapt attention by 8. though not large, yet highly appreciative audience. The smallness of the audience was no doubt due to the fact that it. had not been widely ad-. vertzsec’.
